Lysenkoism in the modern era

Consider this description of Lysenkoism in Wikipedia:

"Lysenkoism was a pseudoscientific political campaign led by the Soviet biologist Trofim Lysenko against genetics and science-based agriculture in the mid-20th century, rejecting natural selection in favour of a form of Lamarckism, as well as expanding upon the techniques of vernalization and grafting."

"More than 3,000 mainstream biologists were dismissed or imprisoned, and numerous scientists were executed in the Soviet campaign to suppress scientific opponents. The president of the Soviet Agriculture Academy, Nikolai Vavilov, who had been Lysenko's mentor, but later denounced him, was sent to prison and died there, while Soviet genetics research was effectively destroyed. Research and teaching in the fields of neurophysiology, cell biology, and many other biological disciplines were harmed or banned."

Now, does that remind you of anything happening in the modern world? Incidentally, even related to biology, of all things. In this case, not plant biology, but human biology, which makes it even worse.

While in the modern era scientists who reject this "neo-lysenkoism" have not been literally imprisoned nor executed, thousands of them have been effectively socially lynched: Discredited, fired from their positions, targets of massive online harassment campaigns, in many cases their lives ruined. For all intents and purposes they have been executed, even if their lives have not been taken (at least not yet, at this point in time.)
